Horse racing

Hi everyone,

Have been wondering about this series for some time now...I feel there is something good in these photos but something is sort of missing...I don't know maybe a theme, a setting, the color etc.
I have a substantial amount of these and I am really fascinated by the movement and the energy of the horse... hence the detail. I am a bit confused on how to present them.
Any type of criticism here and/or ideas are more than welcome...
I had nothing planned when I shot these but had only one thing in mind.... detail!

Thx & regards

We want everyone to have fun and learn here at DPS. In order to insure that, there are some rules you need to follow when posting in the Critique sections:

Only ONE new critique request per day (24 hour period) for ENTIRE critique section. Choose your image carefully.
Please post only ONE image in the thread. If you need to show more, link it to your set. If you post more than one, the other will be deleted at the moderators discretion.
Please keep images to 800px on the longest side. Mods reserve the right to resize oversize images or delete them until resized. This is easy to put up the proper size if you use flickr. If you feel it is necessary for us to see a larger size, link to it.
We strongly encourage the use of a photosharing site such as flickr, photobucket, zoomr, etc.
Please include the following information, if possible, with your image: EXIF info, type of camera, specific questions (What do you think? is not a specific question). A meaningful title, NOT "Critique Please", will also get your post noticed in a crowded section.
Only post if you are willing to be critiqued - this isn't a place for showing off, but a place for people to suggest how you can improve. If you don't think you need to improve then this might not be the section of our forums for you.

Sorry for waking up just now!!
My job takes a good part of my life including my 'free' time...

Apologies to windrider86, this was never meant to be a showcase of my work...that was the last thing on my mind.
I would really like some comments & ideas on how to present this set of images and in which context... I have no clue and don't think I'm so creative in presenting my work.
I was only looking for some honest advice incl criticism...
Apologies also for posting more than 1 image...that was me pressing buttons faster than thinking!!
And re EXIF data, I shot these images with the Nikon D90 and a Tamron 300mm 2.8 fixed lens which is quite old now. Everything had to be switched to manual mode including aperture, focus, shutter speed etc so there isn't much data to share with you. Can't explain how hard this was for an amateur like myself to capture a few pic which were actually sharp & in focus...

Apologies once again and looking forward for some feedback.

Best
Jp
